The previous section ended with reference to how Christians ought to long for pure spiritual milk. Here we begin with Christians drawing near to Jesus, and the distinct identity that they have as a result of believing in him. vv. 4-5 J esus is described as a "living stone" who was rejected by men but chosen by God. And as Christians draw near to him, they are like living stones and together form God's temple. I have chosen to use the Ac-Mn relationship (I initially used the Temporal) because it indicates how we are being built up into this spiritual house - by coming to Jesus. The building of this house results in believers becoming "a holy priesthood", whose role is to offer spiritual sacrifices which are acceptable to God. Believers are able to have access to God and present their sacrifices because of what Jesus has done on the cross. vv. 7-10 Contrast is shown in these verses between those who believe in Jesus (vv. 9-10) and those who do not (vv. 7-8). For those who choose not to believe in Jesus, they find him to be a stone which causes them to stumble. Their stumbling comes as a result of their disobedience to the word. But for those who choose to believe in Jesus, they are given a new identity. They have been called out of darkness and into his marvelous light. They are now God's people. They have now received mercy. v.6 This appears to be the central verse of this passage, in that it ties vv. 4-5 and vv. 7-10 together. Christ, the chosen and precious cornerstone, is the one who causes us to become like living stones being built up as a spiritual house and a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices to God (v.5). Since Christ is this important cornerstone, it therefore has implications for those who choose to believe in him (a new, distinct identity is given) and those who do not (stumbling). The identity of the Christian must be thought of in relation to Jesus Christ, the chosen and precious cornerstone.

NT

esv

As you come to him,

a living stone rejected by men

but in the sight of God chosen and precious,

concessive

ideaexplanation

you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house,

to be a holy priesthood,

to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

series

actionmanner

For it stands in Scripture:

"Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

So the honor is for you who believe,

but for those who do not believe,

"The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,"

and "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense."

They stumble because they disobey the word,

as they were destined to do.

ground

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession,

that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

actionpurpose

Once you were not a people,

but now you are God's people;

once you had not received mercy,

but now you have received mercy.
